Description

Hardcover, bound in full genuine green gilt-stamped leather binding. [viii, 474 pages?] Brand new copy in factory shrink-wrap. A quality Easton Press production with all the refinements that go to make this a truly fine binding: bound in satin ribbon marker, all edges gilt, raised spine, 22kt gold stamping, smyth-sewn binding, silk moire end-papers, acid free archival paper and full genuine leather binding. A limited Easton Press Collector’s Edition, Josephson’s “The Robber Barons: The Great American Capitalists 1861-1901” was first published in 1934 and is the definitive history on the rise of the great late nineteenth-century financiers and industrialists whose rapacious business practices earned them the moniker of Robber Barons. Their names: J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jay Gould, E. H. Harriman, and Henry Clay Frick, have become synonymous with wealth and greed, success and cupidity This Easton Press edition is extremely rare, more so even than the original Harcourt, Brace And Company printing. The present copy is brand new and never opened. A pristine copy, gift quality, new in shrink wrap.
